If we had a "GNOME menu" in the default UI, we would be comparing things properly. We already ship a downstream patch to the control-center's "Details" panel to show information about the Fedora variant in use. I don't think we should have a logo in the default shell chrome, as it would dilute the goal of minimal chrome, and take attention away from the already present UI items.
